Our dedicated and passionate experts champion solutions for kids

Mission

We empower communities to advocate for kids so all children in Oregon can thrive.

Our Work

Children First for Oregon was founded in 1991 to improve the lives of Oregon children by galvanizing community support and informing decision-makers about the solutions kids need. We recognize that children have distinct rights, and we are devoted to ensuring kids are prioritized in all decisions impacting their lives. By focusing on child abuse prevention, foster youth advocacy, legislative solutions, and research and data, we seek to build an Oregon where all children can thrive.
